You never know what everyday will bring eh?-- I realize now that I cannot leave him alone anymore which I do when I get my hair done---- He is very frail--I also realize that he is very unsteady on his feet--So, to-day's blog is short-- Himself is home here recovering , with stitches in his head and gauze wrapped around his forehead. He looks like pictures one used to see, of the soldiers in the war--
I wil talk to you all to-morrow-Hopefully the rest of the day will be uneventful!

I'm so sorry for the accident. I hope he won't try to take away the stitches. Wishing you a good way to relax. ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia-Lynda
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad he's home and recovering and he has the best at-home nurse to care for him. Doesn't it seem that once a person reaches a certain age they forget that they shouldn't be doing so much. I was always scolding my mother for going out when it was icy just to feed the squirrels or at least told her to take her cell phone with her. One day she fell into the front bushes and thankfully a neighbor was out shoveling snow or she would have been there for a long time (Of course - no cell phone). And my neighbor next door had her mother living with her. My husband got several calls asking him to go over and pick her up off the floor. She had a walker but would she use it - nope! I hope his recovery is quick and you and your children can convince him that he's not 21 anymore!
ReplyDeleteI realize now that we won't have him too much longer--hard to have to see thsat-Lynda
DeleteI am sorry to hear of himself falling and am glad it wasn't worse . . .like if he fell while you were out. Glad you are ok also.
ReplyDeleteHe is VERY frail--I never knew how frail he is-- till tay wee dressing him in Emerg-Lynda
Deleteyikes! Being on a blood thinner does have it’s problems with a fall! Sending wishes for a speedy recuperation.
ReplyDeleteNot that he would use it, but sounds like it’s time for Himself to use a walker. I am sure that will be met with a hard NO, but . . . And yes, sadly, does seem like it’s not safe to leave Himself alone.
My Dad had 3 falls before he listened to use the walker. And I left Mom and Dad only when someone was there w/them (home health aide -- was here on a schedule, so I planned my chores around that). It's not easy.

I have to get someone to come in on a regular basis--then plan around them--liuke yu said-Lynda
DeleteI'd be afraid to leave him in the car with the engine running for warmth while you are in a store. Any chance he would decide he could drive somewhere? Feel so much for you - hard to know what's right. Actually, thee is no right way!
ReplyDeleteIt has made me realize that he cannot be left alone-Lynda
DeleteSo sorry to hear about this fall, and the dangerous bleeding, my goodness! Do you already have a walker there? This time of year is so dangerous for many, oh man! Hope he rests and heals up ok.
ReplyDeleteyes Son#1 dragged the walker up--He ha 2 of them but of course, never used them--He will now-I hope!-Lynda
DeleteHugs and prayers sent…. Hoping for a speedy recovery. ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteJacquie
Oh Jackie --so hard to see him like this-- hard day--Lynda
DeleteOMG! I trust he will recover soon...maybe having learned a lesson. Today had better be better for you...you've had a lot of stress the last 24 hours! The tree is lovely, though.
ReplyDeleteLight, Love and Prayers going up for you both...and the furbies! {{{HUGS}}}
Thank yu for the prayers-- It makes ,me realize how frail he is-Lynda
DeleteThanks Brenda--- so far so good--- Lynda
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that Himself fell and had to be taken to the hospital. Hopefully he will recover soon. This is a stressful time for you and I hope you will be able to relax and take it easy. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteOh Lynda I'm so sorry to hear Fred fell and you got an ER trip. Hate that for both of you. Yes, I'm sure he is frail. My husband is much younger but has gotten very frail and has fallen several times.
ReplyDeleteI know what a scarry time this is for you. Likely time to round up some help. If family can't sit with Fred when you need to be gone, you'll need other arrangements. I'm so sorry. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Take care of YOU.
HUGS dear Lynda
Hi Margene-When yer husband fell , did he damage anything?---Fred's head still looks pretty bad-- a huge Haematoma ---- It eat a day that I hope she never have to go thru again!-Lynda
DeleteSending hugs and good thoughts for a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this! I will pray for you both that you find a solution.
ReplyDelete(((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteOh Lynda. I hope today is going much better for you and for Himself. Did he have a concussion? I have an older friend that had several falls before he finally realised he had to trade in his walking stick for a walker and use it all the time. He didn't like it, but it stuck. I forget how many times he fell one year but it happened a lot - and he spent time in hospital for a few of those incidents. BUT - it's now been almost 5yrs since his last fall, and he's doing well. I hope the same for Himself - but for this to be the only fall! ❤️ ((Big Hugs))
ReplyDeleteOh Lynda, sending prayers and hugs for you and Himself. Yes, you have to get help, this is just too much for you to do by yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your DH's fall, and that he can no longer be left alone. Tough times and decisions in your life. Please do find some respite help, because you need those "hair lady" days, and a break. ((( hugs )))
ReplyDeleteWhat a scary experience for all of you. I don't think I can add to what the others have said, just know that we are all sending love and support to you. One thing I do hope is that this may, finally, have been a wake-up call for your kids (who have been in a steady state of denial regarding Himself's cognitive and physical decline). I do hope one of them will step in to find local resources or home health to help you. As OneKidsMom said, that self-care is so important.
ReplyDeleteSorry Himself fell and had a bleed...I have to be careful with David for
ReplyDeletethe same reason...he's a bleeder. Hope he comes along okay, but yes,
I forsee a sitter in his future...
